Summary

[edit]
Description
English: God Deumo (Demus or Deumus) of Calicut from "Cosmographia" (1544) by Sebastian Münster. Deumo is also described by Ludovico Verthema in 1503. Sailors first came to face with the idol of Deumo at Calicut on the Malabar Coast and they concluded it to be the god of Calicut. It is described that the ruler of Calicut (Zamorin) has a image of Deumo in his temple. Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) was a German cartographer, cosmographer, and Hebrew scholar whose Cosmographia (1544; "Cosmography") was the earliest German description of the world and a major work in the revival of geographic thought in 16th-century Europe. Aside from the well-known maps present in the Cosmographia, the text is thickly sprinkled with vigorous views: portraits of kings and princes, costumes and occupations, habits and customs, flora and fauna, monsters, wonders, and horrors.
